About this study

Official title: Regorafenib as Second-line Treatment of Patients With RAS-mutant Advanced Colorectal Cancer: a Multicentre, Phase 2 Study

The investigators hypothesize that patients with mCRC RAS-mutant eligible for a second line treatment with good prognostic features, identified as single metastatic site, long progression free survival (PFS) in first line treatment, might benefit from a personalized approach, with less intensive treatment with regorafenib as part of a continuum-of-care strategy aimed at ensuring quality of life and extending survival.

Read the detailed description

This study is an open label, randomized, multicentric, non comparative, phase-2 study. The study population will include patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) RAS-mutant, upon progression to first line treatment, candidate to a second line, with favourable prognostic features, defined as progression free survival >6 months in first line and/or one metastatic site at study entry. A total of 60 patients (30/arm) will be require. At the time of enrollment, patients will be randomized electronically 1:1 to one of the two arms: ARM A (experimental treatment: regorafenib) and ARM B (calibration arm: standard second line treatment, at discretion of the investigator) Each cycle will be administered every four weeks for arm A (experimental treatment: regorafenib) with a dose-escalation strategy (experimental arm) and every two weeks for arm B (calibration arm: standard second line treatment, at discretion of the investigator). Patients will continue to receive study treatment until treatment failure as previous defined, unacceptable toxicity, physician's decision, patient's refusal, or any other discontinuation criteria. All subjects who finish treatment, whichever the reason, will enter in the follow-up. All patients will be followed until death and data on subsequent treatment will be collected. All measurable and non-measurable lesions must be documented at screening (within 28 days prior to randomization) and re-assessed at each subsequent tumor evaluation (every 8 weeks). Tumor assessment by CT scan (chest, abdomen and pelvis) or MRI (abdomen and pelvis); CEA, CA 19.9; and any other tests resulted positive during baseline staging, will be performed at week 8 and every 8 weeks during treatment until treatment failure in both arms. Patients discontinuing study treatment without progressive disease, will undergo tumor assessments every 8 weeks until progressive disease or study withdrawal. Toxicities will be evaluated at each clinical visit throughout the study treatment and up to 4 weeks after last cycle of treatment accordingly to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (AEs) of the National Cancer Institute (CTCAE-NCI) version 5.0. Quality of Life will be assessed by the EORTC QLQ-C30 v.3.0 and QLQ-CR29 questionnaire that will be completed by patients at baseline (prior to treatment, once eligibility is confirmed) and every 8 weeks until disease progression, treatment failure or death. At the same time points will be administered selected items of PRO (Patients Reported Outcome) -CTCAE questionnaire and financial toxicity assessed through the PROFFIT questionnaire. Blood samples will be collected at baseline, during treatment, and at progression. Biomarkers will be correlated with clinical response, patient outcome and toxicity. In addition, biomarkers will be evaluated on tumor tissues from primary tumors or metastases at baseline, when available.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Progression Free Survival rate at 6 months in the two arms.

    Progression Free Survival rate at 6 months(PFS rate at 6-months) is defined as the rate of assessable patients alive and not progressed after 6 months from study initiation (i.e randomization) to the first documentation of objective disease progression by RECIST 1.1 criteria, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: up to 6 months from randomization

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Progression free survival (PFS)

    Progression free survival (PFS) calculated as the time from randomization until the date of death from any cause until the date of the first observation of disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: up to 1 year last patients randomized

  2. Overall survival (OS)

    Overall survival (OS) calculated as the time from randomization until the date of death from any cause.

    Measured: up to 1 year last patients randomized

  3. Objective Tumor Response Rate (ORR)

    Objective Tumor Response Rate (ORR) assessed according to RECIST criteria 1.1, as the proportion of patients achieving complete or partial response relative to total enrolled patients.

    Measured: up to 1 year last patients randomized

  4. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    Disease Control Rate (DCR) defined as the proportion of patients with complete/partial response and stable disease as their best response

    Measured: up to 1 year last patients randomized

  5. Progression free survival 2 (PFS2)

    Progression free survival 2 (PFS2) calculated as the time from registration to progression from subsequent line of treatment or death without progression, whichever occurred first.

    Measured: up to 1 year last patients randomized

  6. Overall Toxicity rate

    Overall Toxicity rate defined as adverse events graded according NCI CTCAE v 5.0. as the proportion of patients experiencing any grade AE accordingly to the NCI Common Terminology Criteria of Adverse Events (NCI CTC-AE) Version 5, relative to the total of patients receiving at least one cycle of treatment.AE will be listed individually by the patient and summarized overall (severity grades 1-4) and for grade ≥3 by treatment received.

    Measured: up to 1 year last patients randomized

  7. Quality of life (QoL)

    Quality of life (QoL) investigated through the EORTC QOL-C30 questionnaires at baseline (prior to treatment start, once eligibility is confirmed) and every 8 weeks from randomization until disease progression, treatment failure or death.

    Measured: questionnaires must be completed before any study procedure but within 2 weeks prior to randomization (baseline) and thereafter every 8 weeks from randomization until disease progression, treatment failure or death, assessed up to 18 months

  8. Quality of life (QoL)

    Quality of life (QoL) investigated through the EORTC QOL-CR29 questionnaires at baseline (prior to treatment start, once eligibility is confirmed) and every 8 weeks from randomization until disease progression, treatment failure or death.

    Measured: questionnaires must be completed before any study procedure but within 2 weeks prior to randomization (baseline) and thereafter every 8 weeks from randomization until disease progression, treatment failure or death, assessed up to 18 months.

  9. PRO-CTCAE

    PRO-CTCAE questionnaires will be administered at the same time points with items dedicated in particular to Hand-Foot Syndrome and Hand-Foot skin reactions, diarrhea and neuropathy, to better evaluate the effect of two different strategies of treatment on the health-related QoL.

    Measured: questionnaires must be completed before any study procedure but within 2 weeks prior to randomization (baseline) and thereafter every 8 weeks from randomization until disease progression, treatment failure or death, assessed up to 18 months.

  10. Financial toxicity assessed through the PROFFIT questionnaire

    Financial toxicity assessed through the PROFFIT questionnaire at baseline (prior to treatment start, once eligibility is confirmed) and every 8 weeks from randomization until disease progression, treatment failure or death.

    Measured: at baseline (prior to treatment start, once eligibility is confirmed) and every 8 weeks from randomization until disease progression, treatment failure or death, assessed up to 18 months.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 14 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
